DESCRIPTION

Alia Ali (b.1985) is an American-Yemeni- Bosnian photographer and visual storyteller who uses multi-media to communicate on culture, people and place.

“Red” is an image from her long-term project – a photographic series Cast No Evil that explores subjective perception in regards to inclusion and exclusion, and the threshold in which the transition between the two occurs. “Throughout life we are presented with endless examples in which individuals and groups have been excluded from communities based on appearances, beliefs and actions. When this happens, there must always be two, those who impose standards, the decision makers, the included, and those they exclude”, - Alia explains.

The character in the “Red” is one of the series’ protagonists called — cludes. It is a figure (the artist herself) wrapped in layers of fabric that shields her from interrelating with anything beyond the material. With this simple act Alia poses a number of questions about barriers in the society, the notion of acceptance and rejection, communication and relation, indifference and security.

Cast No Evil series was featured in a number of exhibitions, including Marrakech Biennale, and was shortlisted for several important awards – POPCAP the piclet.org Prize for Contemporary African Photography, LensCulture Exposure Awards, Arts Connect International Rising Artist.
